Link Thursday: Real Friends v/s Fake Friends - How to tell the difference

Hey beautiful people!

Surfacing from my WIP (I'm on the final chapter, peeps! Final. Chapter!). It's been a heck of a ride these past few weeks to get this story in shape and actually written. Something I wouldn't have been able to do without the support, cheering, urging, prompting, and encouragement from those absolutely fantastic writing friends of mine!

I've been blessed with the friendships that fill my life. Most of these women (and a few men!), I've never met in person. But across the Ne...

Six Sentence Sunday: Why the secrecy?... Once Upon A Stormy Night (1NightStand series)

Hey beautiful people!

Seems like the rain and fog have let up to grant us some tepid sunshine this morning. Bland heat, but I'll take that over seep-into-your-bones cold and humidity, the kind we've had this past week. Nothing quite brightens a Sunday like sunshine... and a few hops on the Six Sentence Sunday list!

As promised, throughout June, I'm sticking to my 1NightStand release, getting you acquainted with Lars and Simmi. Theirs is a bit of a different/tricky situation. Both wanted a one-n...

Progress Friday - & how I wrote 10K this week alone!

Hey beautiful people!

I couldn't believe it when I looked at my word count earlier - in the past 4 days (Tuesday to today), I've written 10,061 words!

I broke the 10K mark on a week's work. Astounded didn't start to cover it! Now I just hope I don't jinx myself... But it's true that a little everyday adds up to a a big amount. It's not even like I slaved away the whole day while my kids were forced to eat their Apollo noodles (similar to Ramen; just a local brand) that they made themselves. Lol...

Link Thursday: Indulging Guilty Pleasure Is Good For You (in small doses)

Hey beautiful people!

I've been MIA on this slot for a while now - apologies for the absence. After the whirlwind of 2 releases in a single month and the accompanying promo madness, I'm settling into a semblance of normalcy here, thus hopping back for the regular Link Thursday post.

And, browsing my file a little while ago, I came upon this one. Who doesn't have a guilty pleasure? And who doesn't enjoy indulging it time and again?

Turns out - indulging in your guilty pleasure is good for you......

Tidbit Tuesday: The SONG behind my 1NightStand: Once Upon A Stormy Night

Hey beautiful people!

Been a while since I've had a free slot on Tuesday around here. Missed sharing my little tidbits and stuff with you. I'm also feeling withdrawal from the Monday Random Thoughts' post... Guess I'm gonna have to hop back onto the wagon and interact with you lot more on here (did I just hear you all scream "Run for cover?" No? Good! *grin*).

That being said, today's post is a little snippet about how I came up with the storyline behind my 1NightStand (and latest release!), On...

Six Sentence Sunday: When They Meet... Once Upon A Stormy Night (1NightStand Series)

Hey beautiful people!

I'm slowly joining the world of the living after hovering with the undead since Thursday, with a cold that simply slammed in without warning and made me sicker than I can recall (actually, the only time I've felt this sick & out of my depths was after a chemo round... definitely not something I want to experience, or remember...). Anyhow... Sunday...

Time for Six Sentence Sunday, and last week I mentioned I'd be hopping onto my 1NightStand release for the duration of J...

Once Upon A Stormy Night (1Night Stand Series) is out! Meet the characters... with excerpts

Hey beautiful people!

The other super-date of May that I'd been looking for is finally here - May 29, and the day my first 1Night Stand short story with Decadent Publishing comes out!

I'm a huge fan of the 1NS series, and have lots of my writing friends contributing to that line where a special lady, Madame Evangeline, pairs up the most perfect couples for a 1-night-stand blind date... and love comes knocking in the process.

My trusted CP, Lynn Spangler, pushed me to try my hand at a 1NS storyli...

Six Sentence Sunday: Before The Morning #9

Hey beautiful people!

It's an absolutely craptastic rainy/cold/grey Sunday here in Mauritius. Yep, it's winter, all right. But today also happens to be Mother's Day on the island, and the hyenas and their daddy have made the day much more bearable for me (*grin* Shoes... They make everything better. Drive by my FB profile and see what I mean!).

Anyhow, it's also the much-awaited day for Six Sentence Sunday. I'm gonna give you another glimpse into my super-spy's life and (twisted!) mind, then as...

Spotlight Saturday: Desi Moon & her Accidental Intent

Hello beautiful people!

It's a bright, beautiful weekend here in Mauritius, and I'm absolutely delighted to welcome a wonderful author and even more fantastic person over today - author Desi Moon.

Desi asked me over to her blog during the week, and I definitely wanted to return the favour. So here she is today, my fellow author friend and shoe-holic soul sister *grin* Her latest book, Accidental Intent , sounds like a riot and a complex, riveting story to boot (and yes, she had me at the me...

Progress Friday & Where I stopped by this week!

Hello beautiful people!
TGIF, innit? For once, I'm glad it's Friday (coz I usually dread having the hyenas at home on weekends!) because guess what? I finally got back to work this week. Yep, good, forthright, actual writing!
The madness of promo and guest posts and everyone falling sick with a cold (including me!) finally died down and I've been able to sit down with Transient Hearts for the past 2 days and make some progress on the word count. 4, 393 words in 2 mornings - not too shabby, inni...
